Nevada National Security Site (2015)

A fly-through video game was created with images of the bomb craters in Nevada National Security Site. The Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), previously the Nevada Test Site (NTS), is home to 928 American nuclear tests. Formerly known as the Nevada Proving Grounds, the site was established on 11 January 1951 for the testing of nuclear devices, covering approximately 1,360 square miles (3,500 km2) of desert and mountainous terrain. The last test was conducted in 1962.

During the 1950s, the mushroom clouds from the 100atmospheric tests could be seen for almost 100 mi(160 km). The city of Las Vegas experiencednoticeable seismic effects, and the distant mushroomclouds, which could be seen from the downtown hotels, became tourist attractions.

Notice debris from light rock band slumped downhillfrom shaking. No official word on what happened in the test. A. Q Khan, well connected but considered unreliable, says 1 large and 4 small devices detonated.

It was later found that the radioactive cloud from the first detonation did not disperse as expected, and traveled north-east over the Australian continent. There are now stone monuments at the ground-zero points, which can be visited by tourists.

Since 1945, there have been more than 2000 nuclear tests worldwide. Oftentimes, the test sites are so remote that people ignore the existence of these events. But the tests do exist. Fallout and radiation have left these sites undisturbed by humans, inadvertently transforming some of them into animal sanctuaries. In project Fallout, landscapes from these test locations are assembled - 3D satellite imageries are constructed through coordinates from historical archives. A fly-through video gameplay was created with the bomb craters in Nevada National Security Site, where 928 nuclear tests took place.
